Marantz

125 watts per channel. This is a monster with an amplifier section similar to the legendary 2325. Very nice condition. I’m the 3rd owner of this amplifier. It was purchased in Wisconsin and serviced/partial recap at Stereo Rehab in Chicago, IL in 2021. Essentially re-capped except the main filter caps, which tested well within spec. Please see the last photo for a detailed description of all the work performed. Cosmetically it’s in very nice shape with a couple of scratches here and there, with no major dents or dings. The faceplate looks great. Internally it’s very clean, as shown in the photos. Sonically, it’s excellent. It sounds big and beefy with the signature Marantz warmth and enough power to handle less sensitive speakers. I’ve enjoyed this amplifier with Klipsch, JBL, and ADS speakers. It sounds particularly pleasing with my ADS. A true match. Specs can be found online, but it has 2 phono inputs, aux, tuner, 2 tape inputs. Pre outs and main ins, 3 band eq for each channel, plus a bunch of other tape recording options. Power output: 125 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Frequency response: 10Hz to 50kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.1% Damping factor: 50 Input sensitivity: 1.8mV (mic), 1.8mV (MM), 180mV (line) Signal to noise ratio: 78dB (MM), 90dB (line) Output: 775mV (line), 1.5V (Pre out) Dimensions: 15-3/8 x 5-3/4 x 12-3/8 inches Weight: 40.7lbs More photos are available. $1200 Cash. Pickup in Puyallup, Washington. Come check it out. Would consider trades for B&W speakers. Bowers & Wilkins McIntosh Sansui Pioneer
